Disk capacity expansion error. resize2fs
I replaced the four 350GB drives in my ReadyNAS NV with 2TB drives (one at a time, of course), but after the last disk came up and rebooting, the system failed to increase the storage. What does expansion error "RESIZE2FS" mean, and what can I do to cause the expansion to succede? I am running RAID-X, and RAIDiator 4.1.12 [1.00a043]. Thanks for any suggestions.

- You last did a factory reset on RAIDiator 3.x or earlier.
Backup your data and do a factory default (wipes all data, settings, everything) via System > Update > Factory Default then restore your data from backup. - Pretty brutal, but thx for the fast response. I was hoping there was a way to expand w/o wiping data, but I guess that was just marking hype.
- If you had used smaller capacity disks expansion would have been possible.
But you are trying to expand past 5TB which isn't possible when you last did a factory reset on RAIDiator 3 or earlier. Understandable there would be some limitations when his a system that has not been factory defaulted for several years.
